Olivia Turner is a globetrotting journalist who has spent the last few months residing in her elegant Tuscan style home in the residential community of Los Angeles. Three months ago, she returned home after having spent six months in Northern Thailand, visiting temples and schools, reporting on culture and philosophy. She came back from her trip with an appreciation and desire for a quieter and more peaceful life. Inspired by the aesthetics of Asian prayer gardens, Olivia decided to revamp her backyard.

“I love my job as a traveling reporter, but it is very physically exhausting. That said, I learn so much from seeing the world. I leave every city as a brand new person. And I’ve returned home to Los Angeles wanting to create a space in my own home that allows me to recall and remember what I learned from my experience in Thailand.”

The typical stages of revamping a backyard involve design, measurement, build, and installation. Olivia enlisted the services of a landscape design firm based in Point Loma to bring her dream into reality. “I wanted to elevate my garden to give it an energy that is both invigorating and soothing. I wanted zen but I also wanted California cool.” To achieve her desired result, the designers recommended three key elements: greenery, symmetry, and simplicity.

Torrey Pines Landscape company is a landscape design-build company based in Mission Hills, founded by award-winning landscape contractor Harry Thompson. “I don’t expect my globetrotting days to come to an end anytime soon, but I do plan on spending much more of the year at home with my children. They are only young for so long, and I want to be here to watch them grow up. In addition to dinner parties and group meditations, I wanted this backyard to be a play space for my little ones. I wanted this to be a lifelong garden, and so I knew that I had to hire an expert to get it right.”

Knowing what she wanted and seeing that the designers had captured her vision in their detailed plans, it wasn’t hard for Olivia to agree to move onto the next stage. For over thirty-five years, Torrey Pines Landscaping Company has been custom designing and transforming gardens in San Diego. They have an impressive portfolio of projects, with features such as fire pits, kitchens, patio covers, planters, fountains, and more. The company also offers landscape maintenance, which includes garden pest control, water audits and management, lighting upkeep and improvement, plant care, weed abatement, soil testing, seasoning flower planting, and more.

“I wanted there to be structure with the arrangement of the greenery. And I wanted to showcase a foundation. Water has a lot of symbolism in Eastern culture and religion. Nature and water are believed to provide calm energy. Once they sketched up the plan and showed it to me, I knew that it was going to be perfect. I loved that they captured my preference for a minimalist style of elegance. “

If you are looking to transform your garden into an oasis, you can give them a call.

The Road To Freedom

Alana Sadowski, now thirty-three, once lived in Poland before immigrating to the United States five years ago. “I had a dream of making it as a model in the fashion industry. My boyfriend at the time had taken me on a trip to New York City, and as soon as I got into the city, I knew I had to be here in order for my career to blossom.”

Sadowski says that soon afterward, she and her boyfriend had returned to Poland and she decided to end the relationship in order to pursue a new life in the U.S. “It was very difficult to leave him, but it was not a choice I ever came to regret. I am certain that I would have eventually made the decision either way, because I knew that I was destined for a life outside of my hometown in Poland.” This prompted Alana to look into her options as to obtaining legal status to live and work in the U.S.

“I wanted to do everything the right way. I kept hearing about illegal and undocumented immigrants having to face many hardships and struggles, and worrying that they would one day be discovered and deported. I just wanted to do things right the first time around.” Today, Alana has a flourishing modelling career and resides in the Soho district of New York City.

As stated on usa.gov, a green card gives you official immigration status in the United States, entitles you to certain rights and responsibilities, and is required if you wish to naturalize as a U.S. Citizen. One must be eligible in order to apply.

In 2018, a news story broke about a woman who had paid thousands of dollars in legal fees to a lawyer to help her obtain a green card, only to be given an order of deportation. Unfortunately, her lawyer intentionally misled her by the semantics of the law, preying on her hopes and dreams, using a tactic that resulted in her being lured into testifying in court. The hearing was not to decide on granting her green card status, but to decide on whether or not she should be deported. This lawyer had convinced her that under the “ten year law” of undocumented immigrants, she could be granted legal status.

Entering into the U.S. without lawful status will always put you at risk. However, if you have been a victim of a crime, or if your spouse, parent, or child has immigration status, you may be eligible for a green card. K Nair Law is a green card attorney in Orange County.
